Tighten a Loose Cylinder Lock

[@Flip877]

And my girlfriend thought we needed a locksmith. Just needed Mike's instruction for 5 minutes.

[@houseonthemend]

I’m so glad it helped!! Locksmiths are very expensive.

You just saved me from buying a new lock. Thanks. They say education is expensive but check ignorance. You spend more when you don't know.

Aaron thank you!

[@crvantulleken]

Lovely stuff. Thanks

[@houseonthemend]

C VT you are very welcome.

[@badlucklazyguy]

This was great and helpful. What about general maintenance for these types of locks (cleaning? lubrication?) I have a lock that once you get the key into the cylinder it's really difficult to get the key out and you have to massage and hold down the tumbler a little bit (in just the right way) to get the key out. Any thing I can do to fix that maybe?

[@houseonthemend]

Great question. I would make sure the cylinder is perfectly vertical as I demonstrated in the video and use a spray silicone lubricant through a straw to lubricate the internal pins.

[@badlucklazyguy]

Ok, I'll give it a shot.

[@TheCardinalfan10]

What if it’s the opposite issue where the outside lock is fine but can’t lock from the inside from it being loose?

[@houseonthemend]

Should be a very similar process.

[@jabmdp03]

Thank you very much for the information but how can I fix it if the door is shut and I can't get it to open?

[@houseonthemend]

Rotate the lock cylinder so it is perpendicular to the floor (straight up and down) and it should accept the key to unlock.

[@edsmartlang6307]

Just jump straight to 4:40 for the most important content

[@lnblacksc]

What type of screw driver can I use

[@houseonthemend]

Phillips and flat head as shown.

[@raqyah]

Thank you 🤣🤣🤣

[@houseonthemend]

You are very welcome!

[@sallymayhomer]

😂 baby poop color 🤣💀

[@222Lightning]

"judging by the baby poop color I think I'll be pretty safe in using this one"...….took me a moment to ponder the hidden meaning of that. Your daughter or wife likes baby poop nail polish.

[@houseonthemend]

Thankfully it doesn’t get used much so I was safe in taking it out of the nail polish rack.
